It was after 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's golf, waiting around for the seventh job of the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Old Cassop and filled petrol in her diesel uncle's Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class hire car. She was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction in County Durham well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In County Durham we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course take care not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DH6 Postcode - Old Cassop Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and I was on my way to assist an elder lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel bright yellow Nissan in Old Cassop. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and stranded in a backwater lane along the way to visit her godchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had only got it a couple of days back after my previous car, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty years, inevitably died". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely County Durham woman!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
